This clip has more history to it than is noted in it's description. Sally Quinn's tenure as host of "CBS Morning News" is a legendary disaster. This also has the infamous commercial of the Indian tearing up over pollution, and a young Pat Buchanan talking about Richard Nixon and Watergate.

If Wikipedia is to be believed, Quinn followed that child labor report with an ill-considered adlib (apparently snipped here) about how child labor "was how I felt when my mother and father made me clean up my room."
